  Francois Victor Alphonse Aulard Biography / Biography of Francois Victor Alphonse Aulard Main Biography
The history of the French Revolution was at this time still the subject of violent political passions, for Frenchmen saw in the political problems of the late 19th century the continuation of conflicts and crises that had first exploded in 1789.
Aulard insisted that the Revolution should be considered with the same critical detachment as all other periods of history.
Aulard's historical methodology is discussed in James L. Godfrey's chapter, "Alphonse Aulard (1849-1928)," in Bernadotte E. Schmitt, ed., Some Historians of Modern Europe.

 Francois Victor Alphonse Aulard - LoveToKnow 1911
FRANCOIS VICTOR ALPHONSE AULARD (1849-), French historian, was born at Montbron in Charente in 1849.
In a volume entitled Taine, historien de la Revolution frail gaise (1908), Aulard has submitted the method of the eminent philosopher to a criticism, severe, perhaps even unjust, but certainly well-informed.
This is, as it were, the " manifesto " of the new school of criticism applied to the political and social history of the Revolution (see Les Annales Revolutionnaires, June 1908).

He was the first professional historian of the French Revolution, and he devoted his life to this study.
Aulard regarded the conservative interpretation of Taine as prejudiced; nevertheless, he himself clearly represented the republican, bourgeois, and anticlerical concept of the Revolution.

These literary orientations were at the core of the historian Alphonse Aulard's critique of Taine, first presented in 1905–1906 as a course at the Sorbonne, where Aulard held France's first chair in French Revolution studies.
Taine failed to meet the standards of professional historical study, argued Aulard; his citations were sloppy and partial, and he failed to confront questions that mattered to professionals.
Aulard, he suggested, explained the revolutionaries' choices as utilitarian political responses to extraordinary threats, to the principles of 1789, and to the nation itself, whereas for Taine the revolution could not be understood as an extension of ordinary life or as following its rules.

But what is most notable about Aulard's work was his overwhelming commitment to Georges Danton rather than to Maximilien Robespierre as the representative man of the Revolution.
Aulard and his followers were especially concerned about rescuing Danton's reputation from charges of corruption.
Although Aulard and Mathiez both demonstrated extraordinary mastery of the historical sources, the tendency of each to lionize his personal hero made their work often unconvincing.

Aulard stressed the importance of detailed and thorough research, setting standards that still govern serious historical inquiry in the field today.
Aulard was also the founding figure in what has come to be called the classic or Jacobin interpretation of the Revolution.
A firm supporter of the Third Republic, he argued that the history of the Revolution demonstrated that only the democratic republicans of the 1790s had really defended the national interest and ensured the victory of the ideals articulated by the liberal revolutionaries of 1789.

 The Origins of Contemporary France, Volume 1 - The Ancient Regime By Hippolyte A. Taine- Introduction from Nalanda ...
Revel notes that a socialist historian, Alphonse Aulard methodically and dishonestly attacked "Les Origines..", and that Aulard was specially recruited by the University of Sorbonne for this purpose.
Aulard pretended that Taine was a poor historian by finding a number of errors in Taine's work.
This was done, says Revel, because the 'Left' came to see Taine's work as "a vile counter-revolutionary weapon." The French historian Augustin Cochin proved, however, that Aulard and not Taine had made the errors but by that time Taine had been defamed and his works removed from the shelves of the French universities.

 Sample Chapter for Gentile, E.; Staunton, G., trans.: Politics as Religion.
The historian Alphonse Aulard applied this interpretation to the religious manifestations of the French Revolution, such as the cult of the Goddess Reason and the Supreme Being.
In opposition to Aulard, Mathiez considered revolutionary cults to be spontaneous manifestations of a new religion that originated from the political experience of Revolution.
He defined it as a "true religion," albeit an ephemeral one, because it contained all the fundamental elements common to all religions: faith, i.e., a set of obligatory beliefs that are asserted as indisputable dogmas, and worship, i.e., a set of symbols and rituals through which the beliefs are manifested.

Napoleon promised to defend the Revolution both against the royalists who wished to put the clock back to 1788 and against the plebeian and semi-proletarian masses who had lost political power in 1794.
It was a relapse into the ancien régime when the Code Napoleon laid down that in such disputes the word of the employer was to be taken.

Furet objects that the Marxist historians exaggerate the “radical break” while failing to consider significant aspects of historical continuity.
Aulard, a Leninist, established Robespierre reputation as “The Incorruptible.” Georges Lefebvre, who continued to promote Robespierre as a revolutionary hero, followed Albert Mathiez as editor of the Annales’ influential journal, is generally considered the primary Marxist historian of the French Revolution, an influence exerted through a similar professorship at the Sorbonne.
In “A Series of Class Revolts,” Lefebvre proposed the thesis, which has become known as the Lefebvre Thesis, that the French Revolution occurred in four stages, each marked by a predominant social class: the aristocratic revolution, the bourgeois revolution, the popular municipal revolution, and the peasant rural revolution.

Rather, they referred to the populace as simply le peuple, or "the people." This nomenclature carried through most of the next century as historians still deployed this general term.
Whether on the right like Edmund Burke and Hippolyte Taine or on the left like Jules Michelet or Alphonse Aulard, scholars saw the actions of the peuple as unified, almost mythic.
